Happy New Year to everyone.
Christine Springett's fan patterns come with a pattern for pleating the
completed lace fan leaf, and her great little book on making fans give the

That's a very good idea! I'll see if I can work out how the eBay site
works and search for fans - I'd love to see them.

Hi,
Now and again there are good antique lace fans on eBay. Have the occasional
look. A while ago I was fortunate enough to bid for and win a lovely Duchesse
lace fan on mother-of-pearl sticks, but some go for silly prices. Some traders
frequently have fans including lace ones.

I've just uploaded a couple of images to my album on Arachne webshots.

preferred it. I made in burgundy Madeira Tanne 40. I like my lace to be

Yes, I am really sad that he doesn't mail order prickers. His is by far the most
comfortable one I have ever used, and I shall be distraught if I ever lose it

I've made three lace fans so far - just finished one which is just a torchon
edge strip with beads from La Encajera to get back into doing Torchon after
completing a couple of Milanese pieces.

Hi Jane,
I have made several lace fans and usually use Ann Colliers method for
attaching them to the sticks. See page 96 of her book 'Lace Fans' as
well as most other of her books. Summarising she says this;

I had the same problem as Ruth regards the wallpaper paste not holding
in our humidity. I still have to remove my fan completely from the

Jane, Christine Springett's little book, I think called "Designing and mounting
Lace Fans" is a basic guide to this process.
Fountains sell a pleating plan to suit the large fan patterns sold by them
(and, at least some years ago anyway, the small fans used to include the
pleating plan.)
